I have two points. (3,2) and (4,3). My slope is 1 and my y-intercept is -1. How do I convert this information into standard slope form?

Given:

Two points (3, 2), (4, 3).

To find:

The slope-intercept form

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the two-point formula,


(y-y_1)/(y_2-y_1)=(x-x_1)/(x_2-x_1)

On substitution we get,


\begin{gathered} (y-2)/(3-2)=(x-3)/(4-3) \\ (y-2)/(1)=(x-3)/(1) \\ y=x-3+2 \\ y=x-1 \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The slope-intercept form is,


y=x-1
